And it may escalate more, the Trump Administration is ready to slap China with half a billion dollars in extra tariffs, driving prices even higher and risking more farm products.

DeAnne Bloomberg from the Rock Island, Illinois Farm Bureau says farmers are used to the ups and downs of the business, but the tariff backlash adds to the hardship.

“This is another economic lesson because what we’re dealing with is supply and demand. When we also pour in that tariff piece it makes it even more pressured on farmers in the Quad Cities,” says Bloomberg.
